Los Angeles, Calif.

The Gang Alternatives Program has championed the advancement of over 6,000 children and 25,000 families per year in Los Angeles County by the changing the individual, the family, the community, and the cultural influences to eliminate the base of gang membership by having a generation of young people say “no” to gangs and “yes” to positive lifestyle choices.
